As a fairly new smoker (1 year) I’m still in the “discovery phase” and am trying several different blends. I use tobaccoreviews.com a lot and have had great success along with recommendations here on this forum. This has resulted in a very good start to a widely expanding cellar and I’m very happy with my choices.
Predictably, my tastes/palate have definitely gone through some changes and I’m really enjoying trying new blends. Also, my consumption rate has skyrocketed and I average 8 to 10 bowls a day when I’m off work. 2 to 4 bowls a day when I am working.
Something I’ve experienced pretty much since the beginning is that I occasionally have days where everything tastes off. Bitter or bitey, or just not right. Of course my techniques are constantly evolving and I do feel as if I’m progressing as I’ve learned so much here, packing, cadence, lighting, tamping etc. There’s usually no rhyme or reason as to when it happens but I can usually tell from the first bowl of the day and blend type doesn’t matter.
Are these off days a normal experience? Definitely not enough of a hindrance to make me want to stop but somewhat of a downer. Anyone else experience this? Will it go away?
